@@ohms2754 because a Lefty pitcher standing at the mound can see first base in front of his face as opposed to behind his back. This makes it much easier for the pitcher to notice and pick off stealing runners.

[@Jonahch2v9]

The best pass rusher is most often put in the Right End position. So, some might see an advantage in that, but for a leftie, it means your seeing and 'feeling' the rush sooner. That's why Left End's like Trace Armstrong get so many hurries.

I had around 4-5, 40-45 yard bombs that went for TDs. Was backup on varsity. Fun times but can’t dwell on them, have to look toward the present and future.

[@shaunbang]

I always assumed that because of how damn fast and hard NFL QBs can throw on top of receivers literally playing their entire life with a right handed QB, it has to be a big change for catchers to catch a ball at such a high velocity spinning the other direction

Biggest reason is it changes how your tackles block. Strongside becomes the blindside. Can't find many RT's that have the flexibility and speed to block blindside.
